Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m supposed to have gone already. But before I head for the airport, I have a quick message for writer/thinker/futurist types in the audience from my good friend Vinay Gupta. Take it away, Vinay:

The Future We Deserve

Vinay Gupta is looking for contributors for a new collaborative futures project, The Future We Deserve. The deadline is one week from now, the brief is fully open for any short (500 word!) essays on the topic, and all essays are Creative Commons licensed.

The goal of the book is to kickstart a new conversation about our personal and collective role in creating the future. You can read the open submissions queue, and sign up to write at the Collaboratory.

Go join in!
